Tanuki Bob | 4 Kilos

Tanuki Bob stems from a collaboration between 4 Kilos Vinícola and Amadip Esment, an organisation which supports mentally disabled people and their families, who are involved throughout the winemaking. A Tanuki, pictured on the label, is a raccoon well known in Asian folklore for being fun-loving and mischievous. The wine is nicely fresh and textured, with notes of liquorice and red berries and a tasty, mineral finish.
